TEXAS
The "Mental Health: It’s Part of All Our Lives" campaign is being conducted in Texas by the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation (TDMHMR). The department provides mental health services to adults and children in Texas through 39 community mental health centers and a series of local mental health authorities throughout the State.
TDMHMR strives to create a partnership of mental health consumers, family members, service providers, and policymakers in order to create and enact mental health care options that are responsive to the individual. Last year, TDMHMR provided campus- and community-based mental health services to over 175,000 people in Texas. You can learn more about TDMHMR by clicking here, or by calling (512) 206-4588.
